Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Phloem is responsible for the transport of sugars and other organic molecules throughout the plant, but it does not provide structural support. Xylem, on the other hand, transports water and minerals and also contributes to the structural support of the plant. Sporopollenin is a tough polymer found in the walls of spores and pollen grains. Endosperm is a nutritive tissue found in seeds. Lycophyll refers to the leaves of lycophytes, a group of primitive vascular plants.
